On July 4, 1913, Russian immigrant 33-year-old Mary Goldstein died in Chicago from an abortion perpetrated by Minnie Bernstein. Bernstein is identified only as "abortion provider", so she might have been a lay abortionist.
She was held by the Coroner, and indicted by the Grand Jury for felony murder on September 1, but the case never went to trial.
